(PRESS RELEASE) -- Jarrell Miller has long been negotiating on his
match in Los Angeles against Mirko Filipović. Although the initial
information that Cro Cop is to fight this American fighter at
Gloryju 17 leaked some ten days ago, the negotiations lasted until
yesterday when Glory's management confirmed that the matter has
finally been settled. “Big Baby” obviously wanted to charge his
performance well and thus maximally stalled the confirmation of the
match to pull out a few bucks more.

Famous for his big mouth, the “trash talk” from this American boxer
was definitely expected and his statements to the media were not
surprising at all. In his interview with Profightstore.hr Miller
thrashed Cro Cop as if he was a nobody and not one of the biggest
combat sports legends in general.

Nobody expected Miller to praise Cro Cop, but he crossed the
boundaries of good taste.

Among other things, Miller called Cro Cop “and old man” he would
send to retirement. He also sent a “Game over Cro Cop” message to
the legendary Croatian fighter.

However, he did not stop there and he stated that Mirko is so
stupid to accept another match against him since he would put him
to sleep. He also made a comment about their previous match
claiming that the victory was stolen from him.

Mirko's manager and FFC President Orsat Zovko was also appalled by
Miller's statement about the Croatian legend: “Well, Miller is a
wuss. What has he done in his life to talk about one of the
greatest sports legends in that manner?”

Zovko also added: “People barely know who he is, and those who know
him, know him because he fought with Cro Cop at K-1 WGP. He ended
up in that combination by accident. He deserved that loss because
he did not do anything in that match. In order to defeat Cro Cop
you have to do much more. I just wanna tell him that 'trash talk'
will get him nowhere. Jarrell, you are an anonymous with big mouth
and Cro Cop will shut them up.”

The relevance and seriousness of Miller's statement can also be
seen in the second part of the interview where he stated he is to
return to professional boxing after this match with plans to beat
up Vladimir Klitschko.
